Sources and mechanisms of recharge for ground water in the west-central Amargosa Desert, Nevada– A geochemical interpretation
H.C. Claassen
1983, Open-File Report 83-542
Ground water in the west-central Amargosa Desert, Nevada, was recharged primarily by overland flow of snowmelt in or near the present-day stream channels, rather than by subsurface flow from highland recharge areas to the north. Geochemical arguments, including reaction mechanisms, are used to support these findings. Carbon-, hydrogen-, and oxygen-isotope...
